Suratha (Tamil: சுரதா) (23 November 1921 – 20 June 2006) was a Tamil poet, recognized for his poetic use of similes. He was called "Uvamai Kavignar" ("poet of comparisons").
Suratha was born in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu as T. Rajagopal on 23 November 1921. He derived his pen name from Subburathnadasan (Bharathidasan, a poet of yesteryear).[1]
Literary worksEdit
Saavin Mutham (meaning "kiss of death") and Thenmazhai (meaning "rain of honey") were among his notable works. He also ran a weekly Kaavyam, entirely dedicated to poetry.
He was also a lyricist and a dialogue writer for more than 100 Tamil films and songs such as Amuthum thenum ethatku.[2] Another of his popular lyric was the philosophical Aadi adangum vaazhkaiyada, which was featured in the Tamil movie 'Neer Kumizhi' (Water bubble), released in 1965.
